E45: Teamwork, Part One | Anne Ogilvie | SWEET Center

In this episode of The WPI Podcast, we explore the challenges and rewards of working in teams. Most people find themselves working on a team at some point in their career, and this episode can help everyone be a better teammate and make the most of teamwork. Anne Ogilvie, the director for team learning in The Global School and the leader of the SWEET Center (Supporting WPI through Effective and Equitable Teamwork), shares some tools to help students prepare for team-based project work, which is central to WPI’s educational model. She discusses common difficulties that teams face and how the SWEET Center can work with them. This is the first of two episodes on the topic. The second episode, featuring a conversation with PhD student and SWEET fellow Lydia Ellen Tonani-Penha, can be found here.
